Maid of Honor
Carlee is my Maid of Honor! Carlee has been in my life since I started dancing at Lorna Badon School of fine arts in 2009. Carlee became my best friend thanks to the HOURS and YEARS we spent in the studio together. Carlee was my rock through high school and beyond. An old friend of ours would say "They are so close that they will pick each others wedgies." She is analytical, intelligent, germaphobic, poised, alongside being one of the most down to earth people you will ever meet. She really keeps me in line and pushes me to be the woman I desire to be. I am so thankful that our common love for dance has brought us into a bound that can't be broken. I could not imagine my wedding day without my bestest friend by my side. And i can't wait for us to get pregnant at the same time later in life! lol
Best Man
I first met Ryan my sophomore year of high school. We’ve been friends for over ten years. He is my closest companion and has been for a long time. He has taught me so much about money, sports, the stock trade… Ryan is a true friend to the end. We have so many memories together, especially living together for several years out of high school. Ryan is one of the most loyal and hard working people you will meet. He is the only person I would trust with all of my money...that says a lot! The list could go on and on. I am thankful for our relationship because I know it will last our lifetimes.

Bri is my amazing sister in law. I have known Bri's since I was a little girl. We used to play together and she would show me all of her pageant crowns and make sure that I felt included in whatever was going on. In our adulthood I can say that she still looks out for me in many ways. Through anything, I know I have Bri by my side. One thing that I love about Bri is how she does her very best that individuals feel known, seen, and heard. From my experience, she has learned who I am and knows how I operate.. she fights for me when I don't feel like I have a voice or encourages me and reminds me to use my voice. I hold much weight in what she has to say. Her opinion matter a lot to me because I know she has my best interest.

I met Christ at the same round table in the Community Church lobby. I've had the privilege of living life with him for over a decade. I honestly don't think I could say enough. To know Chris is to love hi,. He is a true example of Jesus in the way he lives his life, and the way he loves other people. Especially his wife, Damaris. I'm going to be vulnerable when I say that i used to be jealous of hi,. Until the day I released Chris wasn't naturally gifted with a multitude of talents. In fact... he was just a really hard worker. That is what I have grown to admire the most about him. I have never seen him give up. His capacity for learning new skills is unpreadcedted. I am so proud to call this man my friend.

Anick kinda just blew into my life one day and we haven't looked back since. Anick is my South African friend that I never knew I needed. She is a woman of God who doesn't like "no" for an answer. She is one of the most driven, committed, and caring people I have ever met. Anick and I bond over things like holistic health, crafting, Sachi's Desserts, design, Jesus, ministry, her baby, cooking.. the list goes on. I am so thankful for Anick because she is one of the few who will tell me how it is or correct me when I'm wrong. She is also a great listener....so good that she heard me say I wanted to get some vintage Sunflower Pyrex from a resale shop, lied to me and told me someone bought them when she went in, the three months later gave them to me for my birthday! SHE was the "someone"!!

I met Ethan at community my junior year of high school. We all spent many weekends and week nights at the Berwick house. Always welcomed by his parents to raid the pantry for whatever we wanted. Even back then, I knew Ethan as a spiritual leader. His constant devotion to his Christian life has been a huge blessing to me and many others. He has always been the one I turn to when I am struggling, in my feeble attempt, to grasp the reality of what it means to call yourself a Christian. His wisdom and knowledge of scripture has been a beacon for me. Ethan, I’ve always loved you like a brother. Now I get to say we are brothers in real time. Here’s to being family for real!

So Jacy is my sweet little peacemaker friend..who is also one of the most fiery people I know. Jacy and I met at Redemption Church in 2017 and now we get to work together at the church. Jacy is a strong woman of God and is my most compassionate friend. The life experiences that we have stared go deeper than just co workers. But I will say, Jacy is my work wife..meaning at one point, we were the only two on our team at work that weren't married to another staff member! She was the only coworker that their spouse didn't currently work in full time ministry. So we decided that we were a pair. We were no longer were separate units since everyone else was a pair! Jokes aside, she is dependable, resourceful, meek, gentle, but can be a firecracker in a blink of an eye. Jacy will forever be my work wife. aka my work bestie.

Darrion and I met at a round table in the lobby of Community Church. I’ve known him for over ten years so technically we’re brothers. If I’ve ever said anything funny it’s because I stole it from DJ. He is the epitome of multifaceted. A gifted performer, musician, father, and friend. We’ve always had a similar outlook on life and I cherish that. To see him be such a great father brings me more joy than I can express.

Oh Lordy. Kayla has simply been one of my most favorite humans since that day I met her at church. I actually do not know another human that is like her. Kayla is one of the funniest people around! She can have you rolling on the ground just by giving you a look! She has been such an encouraging voice in my life, specifically the last three years. She goes out of her way to make connection with me and make me feel valued. One thing that I love about Kayla is that she is so aware of others....She knows a great annoyance of mine is if someone blows smoke in my face. When she used to smoke, she would literally turn her head around like an owl to make sure not even a vapor would come near me! HA! I have so many great memories with Kayla...too many to even write down.

I first met Sean is sixth grade and as we got older we became inseparable. We did so much together..from trips to the skate park (getting rides from our parents), to driving to El Paso for a rave in the middle of the desert. But one thing that I cherish the most is getting in those baptism waters with you and having the honor to baptize him in April of 2022. Sean is a great father, friend, and always has the best EDM for when I want to rage a little. I am super proud to see him where he is.
Bridesmaid
My girl, Carrie. Carrie and I have a special relationship that I hold dear to my hear. You see, Carrie is a woman of God who hears the Holy Spirit and obeys the unction. I can't tell you the amount of times over the last 5 years that carrie has called me or texted me either asking me what is going on because the Lord told her to call me or that He gave her a word for me. I don't know about y'all, BUT THAT IS A GOOD FRIEND! Carrie has been there for me through thick and thin. Even through one of the hardest seasons of my life, Carrie was the one person that I allowed to speak into my life to bring encouragement and correction. We have spent many of hours crying, laughing, learning, worshiping together. Carrie is my Soul Sista!

Cody and I met in high school. He and I have been friends for over ten years now. Voted "most likely to succeed at everything"… and frankly he is living up to that. The respect level is off the charts. Cody is the type of friend that you can pick up right where you left off, no matter how much time has passed. He is a great father, husband, role model, and someone I am honored to call my friend.
Bridesmaid
I call Melissa my "Mother-Sister". Over the last 12 years, Melissa has been many things to me. She started as my youth pastor's wife, into a friend, mother figure, and into a sister. She is my "all in one". Melissa and I have spent hours making meals together, cooking popcorn over the stove, drinking hot tea, while either having deep conversations or watching all the classic love stories and rom-coms. Melissa has shown me, from a young age, what it is to be a Godly wife, mother, mentor, and friend. She has allowed me to see the beautiful and ugly parts of life and I can never repay her for the rich moments we have shared. She is who you want your daughter to grow up to be.

Let me start by saying I've only known Levi for about two years. In the time that we have spent working together I've really gotten to know him well. He is one of those rare people who you meet and think to yourself "Oh, I can learn a lot from this guy." Can't forget his grit either! I could go on about how well he does his job but I want to focus on his natural leaderships while living his daily life. He is a devoted husband..this man loves his wife! He is a great example of healthy masculinity. He wears his provider role like a badge of honor. He studies God's word and put it into priority day in and day out.
